Connect Autoadify and you can send it a photo and a sentence from your phone and get back a scheduled post on every network, plus a morning message with what's going out today. ## Quick Answer **On the machine where your OpenClaw gateway runs, add Autoadify with `openclaw mcp add` and sign in with `openclaw mcp login autoadify`. Then message your claw on WhatsApp or Telegram: send a photo with "post this to Instagram and Facebook tomorrow at 6pm" and it uploads the photo, writes the captions and schedules them in Autoadify. Needs Autoadify Pro.** ## OpenClaw + Autoadify at a Glance | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Best for | Posting from your phone: shop owners, creators and anyone away from a desk | | Where it runs | OpenClaw versions with MCP OAuth; check with openclaw mcp --help. | | Autoadify plan | Pro ($29/mo) and above, for MCP access | | What OpenClaw does | Takes your message and photo, writes per-network captions, uploads, schedules, reports back in chat | | Networks | Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, X, Threads, YouTube, Bluesky and Reddit | | Older versions | Versions without MCP OAuth take an Autoadify API key in a header instead | ## Why Post From a Chat App The best photo for your feed is usually taken on your phone, away from your desk: the new stock arriving, the finished job, the event in progress. By the time you're back at a laptop, the moment has passed. Social apps let you post one network at a time; schedulers on mobile are fiddly. Sending a message to an assistant is the one thing everyone already does from their phone. ## 1\. Connect 1. Run the commands below where your OpenClaw gateway runs. 2. Open the link openclaw mcp login prints, sign in to Autoadify and approve. 3. Message your claw. ``` openclaw mcp add autoadify --url https://mcp.autoadify.com/mcp --transport streamable-http --auth oauth openclaw mcp login autoadify ``` More: [Autoadify in OpenClaw](/mcp/openclaw). ## 2\. Posting by message Send a photo with plain instructions. Some examples that work well: > \[photo\] New batch of the oat candles just came in. Post to Instagram and Facebook tomorrow at 6pm, warm and short, mention they're back in stock. > \[photo\] Finished this kitchen today. LinkedIn post about the job, no client name, and a shorter one for Instagram. Schedule both for Monday morning. > What's scheduled for this week? Move Thursday's Instagram post to Friday. OpenClaw uploads the photo it received into your Autoadify media library (`create_media_upload`), checks each network's rules (`list_channels`), writes the captions and schedules them with `create_post`. It replies with what it scheduled and when. ## 3\. A morning digest OpenClaw can run jobs on a schedule and send the result to your chat. Set one up in plain words: > Every weekday at 8am, message me what's scheduled in Autoadify for today, and flag any post from yesterday that failed with the reason. That's `list_posts` and `get_post` on a timer: a two-line message that tells you whether today's posts are ready and whether anything needs fixing. **Post your next photo from your phone:** [start with Autoadify](https://app.autoadify.com/?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=feature&utm_content=openclaw-post-to-social-media-from-whatsapp-telegram) and connect your claw. ## Honest Limits - **Your gateway has to be running.** OpenClaw runs on your own machine or server. If it's a laptop that's asleep, messages and scheduled jobs wait. A small always-on server is the reliable setup. - **Ask for a confirmation step.** Tell your claw to reply with the captions before scheduling, at least until you trust it. A typo in a voice note shouldn't become a post. - **Chat apps compress photos.** WhatsApp shrinks images. Send as a document/file if quality matters. - **Check your OpenClaw version.** Sign-in with OAuth needs a version with MCP OAuth; older ones use an API key. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Which chat apps work? Whichever ones your OpenClaw is connected to, commonly WhatsApp and Telegram. Autoadify doesn't care which app the message came from. ### Can it post video? Yes. Send a video file and ask for a Reel or TikTok; check the network's length limits first. ### Can several people in my team message it? That depends on how your OpenClaw is set up. Every post goes to the Autoadify workspace it signed in to. ### Is my Autoadify sign-in stored on my server? Yes, by OpenClaw on the machine where the gateway runs, the same as any other MCP server it connects to. ### Can I use an API key instead? Yes. Create one in Autoadify under Settings → API & MCP and limit it to the channels the agent should post to. ### Which Autoadify plan? Pro ($29/mo) and above include the MCP server. See [pricing](/pricing). ## The Bottom Line The fastest way to post a photo from your phone to five networks is to message it to an agent that can schedule. OpenClaw plus Autoadify makes that one WhatsApp or Telegram message, with a daily check-in on what's going out.
